An international event in Kahoku

Yesterday, I went to an international event this local radio station called '' FM Kahoku'' gathered about 10 of the very nice English teachers from overseas working in Ishikawa. The event was held in this french restaurant where we were offered a cake and a drink for $ 1000. Oh oops, I meant 1000 yen. lol (Yes I made that mistake on purpose lol) Anyway, the radio station, the promoter of this event successfully managed to get 10 people, which is a surprising fact really, considering how you know they normally would prefer to do whatever they like to do on the weekend. On this occasion we only had about 20 Japanese wanting to come, of which we had about 10 people not eventually coming, due to their schedules or whatsoever, but I believe and hope we will get more people as the word spreads and we become famous, I do know for sure that there's a huge number of people studying English around my area, from school kids to housewives, due to an expanding need for English speakers in many companies and for its convenience being the second most spoken language in the world.
